Short summary
This study explores the effectiveness of repeated debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for early periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) after total joint arthroplasty. It shows that repeated DAIR procedures may achieve over 75 % success, which indicates that this approach may have value in managing early PJIs after weighing the benefits and risks of repeated DAIR against implant removal for each patient.
